It is normal for most games these days to release a day-one patch for its release, as it allows the developers to ensure everything is as smooth as it can be on launch day, even after the title has gone gold. Some games, however, get more than one update before release, and it seems as ifElden Ringis one of those games. FromSoftware’s next big hit got one update seemingly before or duringElden Ring’s review process and is now set to receive another update mere hours from the game’s launch.
In anews post on Bandai Namco’s website, the publisher has laid out all the details regardingElden Ring’s second patch and says that it’s important that this patch be applied before playing the game as it will make a number of quality-of-life enhancements for players. Bandai Namco also notes that the update will ultimately “improve the stability of the gameplay.”
